SleepingTablets

Hello Everyone,
In case you have somehow managed to reach this place, you are either an extremely lucky soul or have somehow (very diabolically) managed to read my mind. That is because Sophomore's Den was no longer rocking. Readership was dwindling and comments were at an all time low. iamgonnarock was beginning to sound too cliched. Then a chance glance at another name, which went something like http://betahavearoti.blogspot.com, proved to be the final straw. I decided to change THE name.

Also, when I used to Google for Sophomore's Den, my stupid firewall used to block the search because it contained the phrase HOMO. Talk about security. Next thing you expect them to do is block Picasso because of the ASS in it. Coming to think of it, maybe they already do. Duhh :|

First to go was the blog URL. Then came the bookmarks and RSS Feeds. Queued up for ruthless assassination were messages to regular buggers and scraps to even more regular ones. Eventually, a blog post ensued. End of exams has a way of making you do all sorts of useless tasks. Bah!

The header changes to SleepingTablets. But I will revert back to the earlier one in case I receive an outrageous response to the change. Don't worry. Even though the header goes, the Sophomore stays. He is not going anywhere. Even if he is the only one reading this blog.

Much better. At least that is what I think. I hope I am not completely wrong. That can prove to be quite dangerous when yours is the only opinion that matters.

People might ask why SleepingTablets? Well, SleepingTablets is kinda like a venture that started sometime ago. It is (supposed to be) connected with all things *creative* that a certain group of people come up with. We kind of hide away the crap conjured by the same bunch of lunatics. But that's a well kept secret. Cutting the bullshit, the modified name and header is a tribute to the same spirit of creativity. After all, we are all insomniacs, in need of a few sleeping tablets.

But all this hullabaloo naturally implies a lot of confusion. I hope Murphy's Law won't reign supreme and that peace will be restored to blogosphere, especially that part of it which houses my readers. Until then, I will try my best to let you all know of the change.

Why the funny name?

A question. Why SleepingTablets? To be honest, the rather funny name stuck just because (1) it sounded catchy, and (2) the original moniker — iamgonnarock — was hopelessly wannabe and did not ‘rock’ that much anyway. But if I were a bit more honest, I would probably confess that the name’s a reference to some of the most exciting times in college. Times that invariably involved staying up late at night and talking of music, movies, art, life, and of course, linux. No wonder, thus, we were all insomniacs, in need of some SleepingTablets.
